Csarence Dresser is married He did it as
he does everything else, in the full possession
Of his faculties and a great hurry. He dropped
down in Washington about o'clock Yesterday
afternoon, hustled around to all the news
paper offices, advised the editors of what was
about to happen, told them not to take the
trouble to send reporters to the ceremony, as
he would write it up himself, jumped on a
street car, got Off at the Capitol, called out
Durham, Adams Lawler and several other
members, said "how-de-do" to them, officially
notified them that be was to be married at
$3.50 o'clock, ran over to the senate, announced
the fact to Farwell and Cullom, hurried up to
the reporters gallery to see il he had missed
any one, made general proclamation of his
intentions, took herdic to printing office,
wrote up an account of the wedding in ad-
vance, and with fifty printed slips of it in his
pocket started for the house of the bride.
The minister arrived, tied the knot on
schedule time; Dresser kissed the bride, told
her he must bs going, hurried down to the
local newspapers, left printed slips containing
his own account of the wedding, asked that
1t be given prominent place in the society
columns, then ran to Newspaper row, where
he distributed the announcements with a lavish
hand, asking that they be telcgraphed over
the country as a favor to fellow Journalist
and be would do as much some time in re-
turn. Then he returned to his bride. took
her on his arm, caught the 10 o'clock train
south with passes for two in his pocket and
will travel for three weeks. Washington

EARTHQUAKE SKETCHES.
SCENES AFTER THE LATE SHAKING
UP OF THE RIVIERA.

Sketches Showing How Terrible Was
the Destruction Worked by that Terri
bic Convulsion OF Sature--StOrIes of
Experiences Not Before Related.
With all the boasted rapdity OF these
modern days it still takes long time eompara-
lively to send anything more material than
an electrical impulse from Europe to America,
and so it is not Till now that pictures of the
devastation worked by the earthquakes of tile
Italian Riviera have come to hand.
The two pictures here presented are
from photographs and must give a very
fair idea of the terrible destruction
wrought by the disturbances. Tie
first one represents the Ecole Mater
nellie at st Etienne, Nice, the building, by
the falling of which Nine. Cheylon the
schoolnlistress, was killed. Through the
gaping walls of the Villa Cipollino Mentone,
represented in the other cut, may be seen
tables and other articles Of furniture thrown
into disorder by the motion of the quake.
